YOGA POSTURE SEQUENCES

YOGA POSTURE SEQUENCES

Yoga posture sequences are a series of postures arranged to flow together one after the next. This is often called vinyasa or a yoga flow. Start with the Basic sequences and gradually proceed to beginning and advanced sequences. Seated and standing sequences can be combined for a longer practice. Read the entire sequence first before practicing. Click on the posture picture or name to read the detailed instructions about the posture’s alignment, contraindications and modifications.
